Mango
Mango is a municipality in the Cuneo area, in Piedmont. A high-value villa with a swimming pool stands on its territory; in 2026 it became subject to a confiscation order issued by the Turin Court as part of an asset investigation conducted by the Asti public prosecutor's office.
The asset investigation
The Asti prosecutor's preventive-measures team, made up of two magistrates and a Carabinieri lieutenant, spent three years on an asset investigation that led to the confiscation of assets worth more than €700,000 [1]. Investigators examined a large volume of banking, corporate and tax documents, extending their inquiries to Switzerland, where proceedings records surfaced that helped reconstruct a web of money transfers and corporate shielding [1].
The order on the villa
The decree, issued by the preventive-measures section of the Turin Court on a proposal from the Asti prosecutors and filed on 7 October 2026, covers the villa in Mango, with all its furnishings and fixtures, together with the balance of a bank account [1]. The property is valued at between €560,000 and €700,000 [1]. The confiscation concerns a man with numerous previous convictions for property crimes who was already under special surveillance: according to the judges, the property was entirely at his disposal even though it was formally registered to a company, given the gap between his declared income and the sums spent on renovating the property and paying off the related loans [1].
Execution of the decree was assigned to the Carabinieri of the Asti provincial command, while the assets remain under the management of a court-appointed administrator under the anti-mafia code [1]. The order is not final, and the person concerned may lodge the appeals provided for by law [1].
